[Analysis of temporal trends of the incidence rate of tuberculosis in Shaanxi Province].

To analyze the temporal trends of the incidence rate of tuberculosis (TB) in Shaanxi Province and provide a reference for WHO to control the prevalence of TB effectively. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province from 2004 to 2022, and the seasonal autoregressive moving average model was used to forecast the incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province to 2030. The incidence rate of TB in Shaanxi Province decreased from 90.

Further analysis of tuberculosis in eight high-burden countries based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data.

Backgrounds: Most significant findings from the Global Tuberculosis (TB) Report 2023 indicate that India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) collectively contribute to approximately two-thirds of global TB cases. This study aims to provide crucial data-driven insights and references to improve TB control measures through a comprehensive analysis of these eight high-burden countries.

Methods: The eight high-burden TB countries analyzed in this study include India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and the DRC.

[Progress in epidemiological characteristics and surveillance and early warning of dengue fever in China].

Dengue fever is an acute mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by dengue virus and widely spread worldwide. Many factors, such as pathogens, vector organisms, climate, and social environment, affect its transmission and prevalence. The local dengue fever epidemic caused by imported cases in China shows a trend of increasing epidemic latitude and more widespread epidemic areas.

Analysing monkeypox epidemic drivers: Policy simulation and multi-index modelling across 39 nations.

Background: This study aimed to analyse the drivers of the monkeypox (Mpox) epidemic and policy simulation to support health care policies against the Mpox epidemic.

Methods: We established a three-round selection mechanism for 164 factors using Lasso and negative binomial regression to investigate the correlation between significant drivers and the cumulative confirmed cases of Mpox. Policy simulation for each driver was evaluated, and the varying effects of implementation at different times were examined.

Body mass index and death by cognitive impairment.

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported that among participants with impaired cognitive, overweight and mild obesity are associated with substantially improved survival, this finding has been termed the "obesity paradox" and has led to uncertainty about secondary prevention.

Aims: To explore whether the association of BMI with mortality differed in different MMSE score, and whether the obesity paradox in patient with cognitive impairment (CI) is real.

Methods: The study used data from CLHLS, a representative prospective population-based cohort study in China, which included 8348 participants aged ≥ 60 years between 2011 and 2018.

Metal-organic frameworks for food contaminant adsorption and detection.

Metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) have been widely used in food contamination adsorption and detection due to their large specific surface area, specific pore structure and flexible post-modification. MOFs with specific pore size can be targeted for selective adsorption of some contaminants and can be used as pretreatment and pre-concentration steps to purify samples and enrich target analytes for food contamination detection to improve the detection efficiency. In addition, MOFs, as a new functional material, play an important role in developing new rapid detection methods that are simple, portable, inexpensive and with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Clinical and genomic analysis of hypermucoviscous isolates: Identification of new hypermucoviscosity associated genes.

Introduction: Hypermucoviscous (HmKp) poses an emerging and highly pathogenic global health threat. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and genomic characteristics of HmKp isolates to better understand the virulence mechanisms of the hypermucoviscous (HMV) phenotype.

Methods: From May 2018 to August 2021, 203 non-repeat isolates causing invasive infections were collected from a hospital in Beijing, China.

Cognitive impairment assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination predicts all-cause and CVD mortality in Chinese older adults: A 10-year follow-up study.

Objective: Cognitive impairment (CI) has been demonstrated as a useful proxy measure of mortality in Western populations. However, the predictive value of CI in Chinese populations is unknown. We aimed to explore whether CI is independently associated with increased long-term all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in Chinese older adults and the association of performance in specific MMSE sub-domains to subsequent mortality.

A field investigation into the characteristics and formation mechanisms of particles during the operation of laser printers and photocopiers.

Indoor particle release from toner printing equipment (TPE) is a major health concern and has received wide attention. In this study, nine printing centers were randomly selected and three working phases were simulated, namely, non-working, normal printing/copying, and heavy printing/copying. The dynamics of the ozone (O), volatile organic compound (VOC), and particle emissions from TPE were determined by portable detectors.

[Progress in research of genomic epidemiology of pathogenic fungi].

Genomic epidemiology, based on whole-genome sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis, can make up for the shortcomings of traditional molecular typing methods and provide a novel insight for the genetic evolution and transmission of pathogenic fungi. The combination of genetic information and epidemiological methods of pathogenic fungi can predict fungi transmission routes and risks, and provide a theoretical basis for the development of public health strategies for fungi infection prevention and control. This paper summarizes the development of molecular epidemiology and genomic epidemiology, as well as the application of genomic epidemiology methods in the analyses of genetic relationship, origin, evolution, drug resistance, virulence, and genome-wide association of pathogenic fungi, and discusses the development of pathogenic fungi genomic epidemiology.

Virome analysis of ticks in Zhoushan Archipelago, China.

Ticks are an important group of arthropod vectors. Ticks pose a profound risk to public health by transmitting many types of microorganisms that are human and animal pathogens. With the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology and viral metagenomics, numerous novel viruses have been discovered in ticks and tick-related hosts.
